Anterior Cingulate Cortex

The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is the frontal part of the cingulate cortex,
which resembles a "collar" surrounding the frontal part of the corpus callosum.
It consists of Brodmann areas 24, 32, and 33.
It appears to play a role in a wide variety of autonomic functions,
such as regulating blood pressure and heart rate,
as well as rational cognitive functions, such as reward anticipation,
decision-making, empathy, impulse control, and emotion.
